Emirate of Córdoba
Emirate of Córdoba appears on the map from 756 to 935. At its greatest recorded extent, in 756, it covered about 445,142 km².
One of the realms of Umayyad Emirate and Caliphate of Córdoba. When the Abbasids massacred the Umayyad family in 750, the young prince Abd al-Rahman escaped to Spain and seized Córdoba in 756, founding an independent emirate in al-Andalus. His successors governed a diverse society of Arabs, Berbers, Muslim converts, Christians and Jews, and Córdoba grew into western Europe's largest and most sophisticated city, with its Great Mosque, libraries and paved, lit streets.
